Disneyworld —
An American experience, everything we believe in and cherish is there, history, science, adventure, the future and the beauty of all things real and imagined. If you get good weather, lol.
Packages and airfares are being discounted, park hours extended and the crowds are comfortable. Security is probably much tighter than appears and all bags are opened by guards at park entrances. Try to spend a day at each of Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and a couple nights for the spectacular fireworks at Epcot or the Magic Kingdom, best viewed from in front of the castle. Recent additions (this century) include Everest Expedition at Animal Kingdom, Aerosmith-inspired Rockin' Rollercoaster and the Lights, Motors, Action stuntcar show at Hollywood Studios. Even a full week at Disneyworld barely covers the ground, and fun everywhere... parades, rides, costumes, architecture and all the wonderful Disney cast members, it's like a cult! Also new (for us) are "fastpass" reservation tickets for any particular ride if the line is longer than you'd like. Merely return to the ride at the time on the pass and get right on.
Accommodations at Disneyworld range from motel to hotel, are reasonably valued according to amenities and meticulously maintained. Smoking is permitted in designated areas throughout the 40 square miles.
If you have never been, you must. If you have ever been, then you know the magic that awaits you there again. And the Disney college internship is a super opportunity too.
